Interesting video on cables

Thumbs UP for any Denafrips DAC.  The video makes a few points all participating in the Audio Hobby should take seriously.  A general message is that technical knowledge does not make one a subject matter expert for all things.  Clearly the two cables in question perform very different functions requiring very different design and manufacturing skill sets.

Points made in the video about wire being an antenna and EMI/RFI present in our environment are facts that cannot be brushed aside.  Do not assume that expensive cables are required in every situation.  Do understand that properly designed cable for the intended environment and function is required.  Do understand that those claiming L, C, and R measurements completely characterize all cable are wrong.  

Fascinating for sure!  I bet fakes of the genuine Apple cables are already in production in China if not already on eBay.

With regard to my system I find that Shunyata cables matter. It will be a long time before it is fully loomed at the higher ends though.

@soix I have an MA8900 integrated, the Denafrips Pontus II 12th Anniversary, the speaker cables are Vogue Audio Silver Strand cables, OSD Aurum power cables for the DAC and the integrated and Fritz Rev 7 SE speakers sitting on 24” sand filled speaker stands.  I have some GIK bass traps installed behind the speakers and on the rear wall.  There’s more room treatment to do but it measures pretty well right now. 

Nice!
